You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Sylvester

The Prodigys Liam Howletts son is called Ace.
'Ace' was the sole companion of the seventh Doctor Who, played by Sylvester McCoy.

Snooker Loopy - Chas & Dave and the Matchroom Mob
My Camera Never Lies - Bucks Fizz

The latter song kept 'Ain't No Pleasin' You' off the UK #1 spot in 1982, depriving Chas & Dave of their only chance of a number one single.
